My dark wool sculptures, Awakening Truth, Beyond Twilight, and

Initiation, are inspired by documentaries about extraterrestrial life and books on fungi in space. I learned that thousands of meteorites hit planet Earth every year, and scientists hypothesize that the extraterrestrial materials carried by these meteorites may have influenced the development of our early DNA. I find this idea fascinating, as it is still much debated among scientists. In response to this concept, I created my interpretation of birthing pods that represent the union of Mother Nature with an Alien Entity.

​

The shapes of Awakening Truth, Beyond Twilight, and Initiation, are inspired by the galls found on tree trunks, which are caused by insect feeding or egg laying. Their pod/nest-like characteristics and dark essence relate to my exploration of how forests—often viewed as symbols of Mother Nature—embody a duality of wickedness and seduction in literature, myths, legends, and tales. This is particularly relevant when viewed through a feminist lens, highlighting its influence on our current psychological relationship with nature.

My dark wool works mark a significant technical evolution in my

sculptural portfolio, as I developed my own technique for constructing the wool forms, which I describe as "pressure stitching without using thread."
